Designed by two local brothers, The Queen was renovated from the ground up. Inside, the lobby features a two-story exposed brick wall, wood beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Your modern room includes a mini fridge, coffee maker, and Chromecast for streaming. And for stunning views of Philadelphia, head upstairs to the rooftop. Discover South Street just one block away — eclectic shops, lively bars, and endless restaurants. Order an authentic Philly cheesesteak from Jim's, or wander through the Magic Gardens for beautiful mosaic artwork. Whatever brings you to the city, start your stay at The Queen.

Property's Favourite Review
The room was very clean and looked great. It had a loft studio feel with a brick wall and nice up lighting. The bathroom was spacious and the shower was very nice. It was conveniently close to many places on South St in Philly. I especially liked the free filtered water station. Will definitely book with Sonder again!

Love the place. Definitely need to add vending machines and a area for microwaves. The elevator needs improvement but Beside that everything else was fine. The concert I went two was walking distance that’s why I stay at The Sonder.

Would recommend for anyone looking for a place to stay that isn't "cookie cutter". Clean and stylish. I stay at a Sonder location for both business and pleasure and have never been disappointed. Typically always in a location that suits my needs.

So understand this place is perfect. Only one little complaint. You can hear the air conditioner in the court yard sometimes. They gave me earplugs which I didn’t need. This place is so clean and new. I will definitely be back. Easy check in and check out.

Great rooms, excellent customer service 👏👍 would definitely stay again. Only issue is you should have somewhere for Sonder guest parking only. I got 2 parking tickets within 24hrs!! Thanks for the accommodation

Facility is fine but the 'no one in on site in charge' business model failed badly. Last night of stay the fire alarm went off - fortunately a false alarm. But after the fire department cleared the building and we were told we could go back inside out of the freezing weather the very loud alarm stayed on - there was nobody to turn it off! Calls to "customer service" ( really an answering service who pass things along) revealed they had tried to contact whomever was responsible and had the code to turn the alarm off but were getting no response. Alarm made being inside miserable, for an additional, unnecessary 30 minutes. I am afraid I was somewhat rude with 'customer service' as I had to catch an Uber at 3:00 AM. I had mentioned that to them but really lost it when they called me back, and woke me up, 15 minutes after the alarm finally stopped, to ask me if everything was OK now?…
